Pig Killer

Chapter 193

Wherever they went, they all handed over the food in their homes and took the beautiful women away with them.

If they dared to resist, he would hack them to death with his knives. The first time he killed someone, the blood rushed in his face and blurred his eyes. Everything in his eyes was red. The sticky smell of blood made him nauseous. He watched the person fall down.

But when he saw the wheat, all his fear disappeared and he grabbed the wheat and stuffed it into his mouth.

All the gold, silver and jewelry were hung on his body, shining brightly.

The first time was new, the second time was familiar, and they plundered all the wealthy villages around them.

"Shoot arrows? Do you dare?" the bandit laughed arrogantly.

"Shoot!" Huang Bochang's eyes flashed and he waved his hand.

Whoosh... Even if we don't talk about thousands of arrows being shot at the same time, there are still hundreds of arrows being shot at the same time.

The bandit was frightened by the momentum so much that his face turned pale and he ran backwards using his hands and feet.

"Huh!" Huang Bochang let out a long sigh, finally scaring them away.

After learning about this, Shen Hui'e took the children and went straight to the Huang family courtyard.

Huang Jichang was sitting on the bench bragging to someone! "They were scared to death. Haha..."

"Second sister-in-law." Huang Shuchang looked up at her and called out as she walked in.

Huang Jichang quickly put his feet down from the bench and stood up in his straw sandals, "Second sister-in-law!"

The farmers, who had been sitting in a haphazard manner, immediately sat up straight and behaved properly.

He hurriedly let down his rolled-up trouser legs and quickly wrapped and fastened his shirt.

Huang Yuanji, who followed in, moved a bench and said, "Second Aunt, please sit down!"

"I heard from Yuanji." Shen Hui'e stretched out her hand along the side of her skirt and elegantly sat on the bench, looking at them and said, "You are not hurt!"

"No, no." Huang Jichang laughed and said, "We chased them away." He sighed, "I didn't expect there would be bandits! We just made the bows and arrows less than ten days ago! Fortunately, we have them."

"Did they get shot?" Shen Hui'e asked, looking at them curiously.

"Judging from the number of arrows we recovered, they were shot at." Huang Bochang said honestly, "As for where they were shot at, I don't know." He scratched his head and said, "How could one master archery in such a short time? It's just for show and to scare people!"

Huang Shuchang laughed when he heard this and said, "It's like shooting thousands of arrows at once. It's good enough to deal with those rabble."

"We have to be careful if they come again." Shen Hui'e looked at them deeply and said.

"If you dare to come, I won't be polite this time." Huang Jichang clasped his fists and said, "I'm not afraid of them, I'll fight them!"

"It's good to be brave, but fighting also requires brains. They can do whatever they want, but we can't lose. If we lose, it will affect our families." Shen Hui'e looked at them with deep and bottomless eyes and said, "Just one thing, they have killed people, can we do it?"

"Uh..." The question stumped them.

Huang Jichang said boldly, "Kill with your eyes closed!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Hui'e looked at them with a frown on her face and stroked her forehead.

"Second sister-in-law, if you have something to say, just say it." Huang Jichang looked at her eagerly and said.

"What I want to say is that we are not very good at a head-on battle." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her ink-black eyes and said bluntly.

"Isn't this just killing someone? I think I can do it." Huang Jichang looked at her firmly and said.

"Just think about it, you can't defeat these bandits. Your home was burned down by them. Your parents and children were killed, and your wife was taken away by them." Shen Hui'e looked at them with eyes like black holes and said word by word.

"Damn it!" They looked at Shen Hui'e with fierce eyes and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, if they really come, we will not show mercy and kill them without leaving a single piece of armor."

Shen Hui'e looked at them with a resolute gaze and said, "We kill people to protect our homeland."

"We know that they kill people without blinking an eye." Huang Bochang looked at her with his dark eyes and said, "If we fall down and get scared, our homes will be gone."

Shen Hui'e looked at them tenderly and nodded, "I hope they won't come."

"Why?" Huang Shuchang clasped his fists and said, "If you dare to come, you will die."

"I don't like killing people." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her clear and bright eyes.

"Uh... I don't like it either." Huang Shuchang scratched his head and laughed when he heard that.

"We can't confront them head-on." Shen Hui'e said, looking at them with her deep and penetrating eyes.

"We have more people, so why can't we fight them?" Huang Shuchang looked at them in confusion.

"I'm afraid you'll suffer." Shen Hui'e said truthfully, "Now it's either you or me. If you don't fight at the entrance of the village, you'll be annoyed and angry, but you'll be fine in a few days." She glanced at them one by one with her clear eyes and said, "Your life is your own. You only have one chance. You must be fully prepared and don't fight an unprepared battle."

"How can we prepare for this? We patrol at night, and they come at night, so we can't see anything!" Huang Bochang blinked and looked at her and said, "Aren't you afraid of accidentally hurting your own people? It's pitch black."

"We have to be alert during the day as well." Huang Jichang looked at them with cold eyes.

"Yes!" Shen Hui'e nodded slightly and said, "Find the children to ambush on the hillside leading to the village. When they come in, let the elderly and children hide. We will close the door and fight the dogs." Then she continued, "Find someone with good archery accuracy in the next few days, climb onto the roof and occupy the commanding heights. Shoot them as soon as they come in, and don't show mercy."

Huang Bochang and the others' eyes lit up when they heard this, "This way they will never be able to return."

"Yes!" Shen Hui'e said, looking at them with her deep black eyes.

"Wait a minute, how can the person keeping watch on the hillside notify us when he is so far away?" Huang Jichang asked anxiously, "If the noise is too loud, beating gongs and drums will alert the bandits."

"Tree!" Shen Hui'e smiled slightly and pointed to the big tree on the hillside, "Shake the branches." She smiled and said, "This time, the children are allowed to climb the tree."

"It's very clear!" Huang Jichang and the others said as they all looked towards the forest on the hillside.

"The same goes for other villages." Shen Hui'e looked at them with clear eyes and said, "Everyone, be alert."

"I know. I will contact them." Huang Bochang nodded hurriedly. "They care more about protecting their homeland than we do."

"As for the government?" Shen Hui'e pressed her temple and asked.

"I'm with the government!" Shen Changsheng said to her with a smile on his face as he stood at the gate of the courtyard.

"Brother! (Uncle), uncle."

"There was no reaction from the government after such a big commotion?" Shen Hui'e asked, twisting her body and looking at him.

Shen Changsheng nodded at them, walked over and said, "How can they react? They are more afraid of the bandits who kill without blinking an eye than we are."

"Brother-in-law, please sit down!" Huang Jichang stood up and made way for the bench and said.

Shen Changsheng lifted the hem of his clothes, looked at him and said, "Thank you!" Then he sat down.

"Where will you rush to first if the bandits break through?" Shen Changsheng asked bluntly.

"Of course it's the county government." Huang Shuchang said without thinking.

"That's it. With you guys supporting them, they can rest assured." Shen Changsheng looked at them with his dark eyes and said, "Just do it boldly!" He gave his second sister a reassuring look.

"That's good!" Huang Bochang stood up and said, "I'll go contact other villages."

"Then let's practice archery." Huang Jichang stood up and said.

"Then we won't disturb you anymore." Shen Hui'e stood up and looked at them and said gently.

"We're leaving, you guys go get busy!" Shen Changsheng looked up at Huang Jichang and said, "Fourth Brother, remember to go get the arrows from Tiefeng, he has made another batch."

"Hey!" Huang Jichang responded happily.

"Second sister, let's go!" Shen Changsheng said, his eyes falling on his second sister.

"Hey!" Shen Hui'e responded when she heard it, and called Da Chong and his sister to leave the Huang family courtyard together.

As Shen Hui'e walked, she asked, "Are there enough iron lumps?"

Shen Changsheng smiled upon hearing this and said, "Enough! Since the increase in grain taxes last year, there have been fewer blacksmiths. This year there are even fewer, except for repairing farm tools." Then he said, "These iron lumps are piled up! It is definitely enough to make arrows." He smiled and said, "These arrows can be reused, so don't worry."

"I'm afraid that even a good cook cannot cook without rice." Shen Hui'e looked at him with deep and penetrating eyes and said, "This thing is consumed quickly."

"It's more than enough to deal with the bandits." Shen Changsheng said optimistically, "I never thought that the iron lump used for forging iron pots would be used here."

Shen Hui'e smiled but said nothing when she heard this. Originally, military and civilian use were mutually beneficial.

"I'm standing at the door listening to your instructions. Second sister knows a lot about military affairs!" Shen Changsheng looked at her curiously and asked, "We don't have any specialized military works at home, right?"

"Look at the bamboo slips, really!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with sincere eyes and said, "There are many strategies recorded in the bamboo slips from various countries. It's very interesting to compare them! Especially for the same historical event." She raised her eyebrows and said, "Different positions mean different angles of record."

"Is there?" Shen Changsheng frowned slightly and looked at her.

"When you look at those bamboo slips, you can't just look at the surface. You have to look beyond the words and see the deeper things." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her deep and clear eyes reflecting the bright light of the sun, and said with some resentment, "There are too few words, sometimes even only one sentence."

"Bamboo slips are not very convenient to use." Shen Changsheng nodded in understanding.

"When the vassal states fought each other, the winner would write down how many cities they had ceded, how many people they had killed, and how much spoils they had obtained." Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows slightly, "while the losing side would write down the deployment of both sides of the war in great detail, including the progress of the war and how the fight was fought."

Shen Changsheng blinked and looked at her, thinking back, "It's true."

"Here we go. The battle between the two sides is very interesting." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at him with a smile.
